Fiction
Shattered Glass
Camshaft, along with the rest of Remote Patrol Six, was dispatched to scan the Plait Expanse's radiation in an attempt to escape Cybertron.

When Sandstorm discovered a signal coming from Zone Y-AT, Hound thought he recognized it, and suggested that someone should check it out. Camshaft was eager to go, but Hound suggested that Downshift go instead.
When Camshaft protested about Downshift "getting the glory" when he was "weak" and "not even one of—", Hound said that was the point, that 'bots like the rest of them needed to stick together. Especially since Hound thought he knew what was coming. Do Over

Toys
Universe (2003)
- Autobot Camshaft (Spy Changer, 2006)
- Accessories: Rifle
- For Universe, Camshaft is identical to the last Kay-Bee exclusive redeco of W.A.R.S., transforming into a clear-purple Ford Thunderbird stock car. He features through-axle construction that allows him to zip along quickly on smooth surfaces, plus he is compatible with many "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" racetracks. He was available only on an individual card from discount chains like The Dollar Store.
- This mold was also used to make Gearhead and the Generation 2 Go-Bots Soundwave. It was planned to be used to make Generation 2 Greasepit, but that toy was ultimately unreleased.
- As with many Universe characters, it is unclear whether this Camshaft is meant to be the same individual as his Generation 1 predecessor. He is included here because his on-package bio bears the same function ("Scout") as presented in the previous mail-order flyers and Dreamwave profile. This toy was repurposed as "Shattered Glass" Camshaft.
